The results out of Texas last week told us something most of us already knew but didn't want to say out loud: the two-party system is broken. The primary process that's supposed to give voters a choice has instead handed us a slate of candidates that even the most loyal voters I know can't stomach.
I am a Republican. I have worked for Republicans, volunteered for Republicans, and voted for Republicans my entire adult life. I did that because the Republicans I knew shared my values — on the issues and on the basic question of integrity. I cannot say that about some of the people whose names will appear next to the R on my ballot this November. And if you're a Democrat reading this, you've had your own version of this morning before. We've all been here.
So what's a girl to do?
